Hi. Your results are amazing. You are the 1st person to convince me to go forward and do the same. 1 question: After the surgery, are you able to relax, or straighten your hair? If so, how long after the surgery? Tks!

Thank you ! I haven't relaxed my hair at all. I went natural. And this was the first time I straightened my hair since Jan 2015. I don't plan on using heat at all.

MMNewHair - Hey girl, how's it been going for you? Your journey is coming along nicely.

I was wondering if you could help me. I am currently 4 months post and I've noticed after taking out my sew-in that I had installed for two months, I was experiencing (and still am) excessive shedding. I'm aware that hair sheds btwn 50-100 strands/day, so over the course of two months that's approx. 6K of shed hair, understandable. So during my detangling proccess I witnessed a good amount of hair loss, but I didn't freak out because it's expected when your hair is kept underneath a protective style for that long BUT the next day during styling my hair I noticed even more "shedding." At this point I'm unable to differentiate btwn shed hair/shock loss. Did you face a similar situation during this time of your journey? excessive shedding/shock loss? What steps did you take to reduce/prevent the situation.

I'm really starting to freak out because I have relatively healthy hair and I don't like what I'm seeing right now :'(

I've emailed Dr.Frank w/ my concern, but I'd also like to hear from some like you, who has been through the same procedure & was performed by the same Dr.

Your help will be greatly appreciated! XO

Your transplanted hair is growing in very nicely. It looks like it will be very thick and full when it completes its fill in. Congratulations!
From what I can see, so far, it appears your procedure was a success.

Your hair looks very good. I know that you are taking care of it also. It looks very healthy. BTW, some of your comments mentioned braids. I dont see any braids. There is a difference between corn-rolls and braids. You have corn-rolls which are better for the hair than braids especially when they are not tight or pulling on your tender edges and when weaved hair is added to the corn-roll to support the style. I have had both- there is a difference. Anyway, very, very happy for you.

Thank you. Yes I put in my own cornrows with no weave added and they're not tight at all. They only last a week and I let my hair breath for a day.
